Why Preciosa? - The origin of its namePreciosa it is the name of a tree found only in the Amazon. Its essential oil has an exotic and seductive fragrance that stimulates the senses and evokes a journey in search of one’s essence.

When a Preciosa tree topples from the force of the wind, it remains intact for many years – some reports say more than ten years - while maintaining its same properties: analgesic, anticonvulsant, antidepressant, antimicrobial, antiseptic, aphrodisiac, bactericidal, deodorant, stimulant and tonic.

Traditionally, its bark is used to treat acne, influenza, dermatitis, fever, frigidity, headaches, infections, nausea, nervous tension and skin wounds. Its thin and hard bark is removed in chips and kept by rubber tappers. When visited by friends, they prepare a very sweet tea from the bark.

They call it “preciosa” because it is considered the tastiest and most precious tea of the forest.

It is a tree of sparse growth in the forest. Therefore, extraction must be performed with sustainable planning that does not upset the existence of surrounding trees to ensure that there will always be seeds for the repopulation of the tree and the growth of new seedlings.

What are organic cosmetics?Organic cosmetics contain plant oils, essential oils, extracts, butters and other active ingredients that promote the benefits of nature in its purest state, producing real results.

The difference between a natural and an organic cosmetic is that the vegetable raw materials of an organic cosmetic are more rigorously controlled when farmed – they are planted in uncontaminated soil and cultivated without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers.

In the case of Amazônia Preciosa, many of its plant ingredients grow wild, that is, uncultivated, but are extracted from forests in a sustainable manner without upsetting the balance of the ecosystem. The purpose of making organic cosmetics is to offer the consumer a quality product (a “purer” cosmetic with no risks to health), and equally important, to observe good environmental practices.

By purchasing an organic cosmetic, the consumer is assured that the product was manufactured without harming the environment and that using the product entails eventually discarding an environment-safe residue.
